When you feel so ill you’ve made peace with death and are weeping from pain or discomfort and wallowing in the deepest well of self-pity and fearing you’ll never feel okay again throw a soft ‘mommy’ out there. It’s kinda like meditation in acknowledging how hellish you feel and that your mom would probably make you feel better if she was there (I mean I don’t know your mom I only know my mom) and kinda helps you accept the situation and that like all previous illnesses this too will pass (probably) and this is just how it feels right now and pretending it isn’t as bad as it is just makes it worse. Calling out for mommy just kinda recognizes how low you feel and makes it easier to keep feeling bad for yourself and sometimes the best way to get over a virus is to wallow on the sofa remembering to drink clear fluids every now and again feeling like the unluckiest person in the world. Have not tried this around roommates or other people so cannot extend the recommendation to all living situations.

🫂TW!!!
My mom had a stroke a month ago, she almost died. I hadn’t really been in contact with her because she’s unstable and bipolar and unfortunately refuses any psychiatric help. I feel like a monster because I was hoping that the accident would make her kinder — but kindness isn’t usually a side effect of a stroke. I hate this period of my life. I just want to stop thinking and feeling. This whole situation reminds me that I’m not enough — not a good enough daughter, not thin enough, not mature enough, not present enough, not helpful enough. Once again, I feel like I’m facing a child, when all I want to do is scream, ‘I’M YOUR CHILD, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF ME!’ I feel so selfish for wanting her to take care of me when she almost died. But honestly, whether it’s her or someone else, it doesn’t matter — I just desperately want someone to take care of me

🫂Your best friend has work all day and is feeling a strange feeling but doesn’t have time to call the doctor? Call the doc for her and set up an appointment!
Your other best friend has a med that’s out of stock at her local CVS and works 80 hours a week? Call around to some CVSs for her and ask which locations might have the meds in stock.
Your mom‘s tailbone hurts and she’s busy taking care of her husband, working, and crying herself to a night of interrupted sleep from the pain? Call her pain management doc and tell them all about it in elaborate detail, tell them she’s your mom and you’re worried and ask to be put on a cancellation list or given literally any earlier appointment. Also bring her some soup, do some chores for her, and take some errands off her plate if possible.
Calling docs for the people you love is a love language 🫂

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

Devastating. so emotionally honest. stunning instrumentals. Listened to this a lot 2 augusts ago and again now bc I’m venturing into a new known unknown again. Always thought August is the Sunday of summer and feel like this album captures that lethargic oppressive heat that is always ushering in change tickled with a melancholic ending, the reminder of time passing, that your childhood is another summer behind you. A sigh instead of a sob. Only 2 songs are shorter than 6 minutes.
